First of all for whatever reason even though I have an account with Amazon they've made it impossible to login. I was interested in writer Anne Stuart's series The House Of Rohan. All were in physical paper form except one The Wicked House Of Rohan which was only available in e-book format. I would have preferred the physical paper format. I tried to get through Google Play Books but couldn't. It wasn't available on Kobo or even Walmart etc. I then began to suspect something which was then confirmed that Amazon is a monopoly actively preventing other sellers from being able to sell the e-book version. This was later confirmed when I found out that the Federal TradeCommission along with 17 state Attorney's General filed an antitrust lawsuit against Amazon in 2023 for unethical practices of various sorts. Writers like Anne Stuart have beneficial relationship with Amazon at the expense of her core, and loyal readers. Even public libraries are suffering from being unable to get the books that they need. Amazon charges a fee to sell on their site which nothing less than extortion. If the FTC wins their case hopefully books such as The Wicked House Of Rohan and others not available now will be soon.
